Yes, but what does "Army MARS" do for the "Army"? TSA,
in Portland the Army MARS TSA station operates off a roof as TSA doesn't want them inside their area. In Seattle its operating on a table in the hallway. Does
TSA need them or is it all political. Every holiday, Navy MARS runs ship to shore phone patches for hours. Unless your on a carrier you don't have access to email technology. Even in Iraq they have email, if you want to wait 1-2 weeks for access. In Oregon we work closely with the Oregon State Police, NNN0WLK, National Weather Service, NNN0NPX and US Coast Group North Bend, NNN0NTT.
Do we do anything directly to the Navy Dept, no, but I
don't think any other MARS group does either. Hang in there, a change is coming.
